No Houdini Like Smokescreen to allow UK Unilateral action to end Backstop – Harkin

The Independent MEP Marian Harkin is warning against possible unilateral action by the UK to end the backstop.

Speaking in the European Parliament last night, the Midlands North-West MEP said she welcomed the latest pledge by the Parliament’s Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt to stand by Ireland and safeguard the Good Friday Agreement.

However, she’s concerned the UK would find a way to unilaterally pull out of the backstop deal.
